There's expression then there's action.

Tangible change does not come through these silly expressions of anger. Trump is laughing at all of us. No amount of these kind of protests moves the needle. And honestly, you know who comes after Trump? Fing Vance. The line to POTUS is GOP.

We have no choice but to await midterms. Just ensure they take place and then change will begin. Save your protest energy - go take care of you v dealing with the craziness of being out there in the chaos.

This protesting is a bunch of drama because of the stupidity of people who don't know what else to do. Be smarter and think through what protesting entails before you commit. The people you want to notice this drama do not care one bit. You can do it for yourself but it's a joke to pretend anyone who you're protesting against cares.

You're crazy if you don't think Trump cares. He hates seeing masses of people criticizing him. To me, that makes protesting worth it.

Yep. There are a lot of reasons to attend. One of them will be the joy of seeing pictures from the marches with throngs of people filling the street — posted side by side with pictures from Trump’s rather sparse inauguration. You just know he’ll see them too, and he will care. Biggly.

Especially after his pathetic inauguration and his squeaky tank birthday party. That probably brought back a lot of bad childhood memories.

I'm in favor of, as are many/most Iranian Americans.

Sure

PSA:

You can go to a march event alone. I have. I promise you there will be lots of other singletons and everyone is very nice.

If you or someone in your family/party can't walk/stand (elderly or young kids, etc.), you can drive by a protest and honk. Lots of cars do this and display signs or flags.

If you only have 10 minutes, show up for 10 minutes, or drive by.

Finally, bring a sign or US flag or don't, there's no perfect way to participate. In a pinch, use a 8.5" x 11" piece of paper with a bold sharpie.

Isn't it also one of the busiest cherry blossom weekends in DC? I doubt it will be there, National Mall gets beyond crowded on these weekends.

‘No Kings’: Politics as Bad Group Therapy

Participants in the rallies accomplish nothing practical but feel heard, validated, and affirmed.

Oh, wow. A white mansplainer who loves Trump and is a crackpot therapist who wantonly ignores history For those of you who don't have subscriptions....

"After a “No Kings” rally last October, I was walking through the area and paused to read the signs. A woman asked me, “Aren’t these great?”

“I don’t know,” I replied. “I kind of like some of Trump’s policies.”


LOL, see everyone there!

Funny that you didn't quote what the woman said back to him:

“I don’t know,” I replied. “I kind of like some of Trump’s policies.”

“Well, f— you then.”

Such a completely typical response from one of these moronic protesters. If you aren't 100% with them, they tell you to f-off. Just like here on DCUM.

Alpert does not "love Trump," you moron. But he has certainly pointed out how therapy should be a neutral zone, free from politics, yet many patients and therapists are dragging in their political obsessions.

The consequences of political division are showing up in therapy rooms. Polarization mimics anxiety or depression, with symptoms of withdrawal, broken relationships and constant stress. Patients cut off relatives, refuse to date across party lines, even demand political loyalty oaths. Surveys bear this out: In a recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, 27% of Democrats and 10% of Republicans said politics has negatively affected their friendships. Dating surveys show two-thirds of Americans insist on political compatibility, and 1 in 6 have ended relationships over it.

By clinical standards, polarization shares many markers with recognized disorders: social isolation, chronic stress, heightened anxiety and maladaptive coping. Therapists, far from treating it, often amplify polarization by validating partisan rigidity in clients. When doing this, therapists function less as healers than as vectors of this new disorder. It’s becoming the defining pathology of our time.

Anyone still identifying as a "Republican" or "Democrat" does indeed need to be in therapy.

Therapy shouldn’t be political because…politics don’t have a material effect on literal lives? Or because people shouldn’t be allowed to process the things that materially affect their literal lives in therapy? Or because therapy isn’t for processing the things that affect lives?

What exactly is the claim by this one random guy who doesn’t happen to be personally affected?

Never mind, I don’t actually care. See you at the protest.

It’s funny how the RWNJ goons want politics kept out of everything else as soon as they hear that the voices don’t agree with them.

But boy oh boy, if it’s Jon Voigt or Toby Keith or Harrison Butker, everybody needs to STFU and listen to these guys!

I mean, do you hear yourself? You call anyone you want to silence a “RWNJ goon.” You literally want anyone who is not 100% in agreement with you to be silenced. The reason you love these silly marches is because it’s a safe echo chamber full of people who think exactly like you. The above quote from that article is it in a nutshell.

As for your last paragraph, that’s quite a leap. As usual.

Are you seriously attempting to argue that “Shut up and dribble, LeBron” wouldn’t be “Listen up, everyone!” if he got on that Tiger Woods sauce (not THAT Tiger Woods sauce).
